29. SIUENIRA. 539 



Muzzle short, obtusely conical ; nostrils opening in the centre of 

 the horizontal portion of the nose-leaf, the front edge of which is 

 straight and continuous with the integument of the muzzle beneath, 

 separated by a rather wide space from the margin of the lip ; ver- 

 tical portion of the nose-leaf ovate-lanceolate, arising by a narrow 

 stalk between the nasal orifices, then convex on the sides and 

 narrow lanceolate in the upper third (Plate XXX. fig. 4, front of 

 muzile, enlarged) ; immediately behind the nose-leaf on either side 

 in front of the eyes a prominent obliquely situated glandular eleva^ 

 tion is placed. Ears much shorter than the head, narrow, and 

 narrowly rounded off or subacutely pointed at the tips ; upper half 

 of the outer margin of the conch straight, the lower half convex, 

 slightly notched opposite the middle of the tragus, terminating 

 opposite the base of the inner margin : the tragus reaches its 

 greatest width opposite the base of its inner margin ; the outer 

 margin immediately above that j)oint is notched, then slants up- 

 wards and inwards ; the inner margin is straight, the tip truncated, 

 and terminating in three small points. Inner margins of the lips 

 fringed with very distinct papillae, as in Artiheus ; lower lip with 

 three warts in front, whereof the central is largest, bounded late- 

 rally and beneath by a row of small warts (Plate XXX. fig. 4). 



Wing-membrane extending to the ankles ; interfemoral mem- 

 brane rudimentary, forming a narrow band along the legs and ex- 

 tremity of the body ; tail none ; calcaneum indistinct. 



Fur moderately long and dense ; on the upper surface extending 

 forwards upon the muzzle as far as the base of the nose-leaf; also 

 upon the humerus and half the forearm, but leaving the antebra- 

 chial membranes naked ; posteriorly, the hinder extremities and 

 the narrow interfemoral membrane are covered with fine rather 

 long fur, which also clothes the backs of the feet ; on the wing- 

 membranes the fur extends as far as a line drawn from the elbow 

 to the knee, and on a small portion external to the tibia ; beneath, 

 the antebrachial membrane, the forearm, and the wing-membrane 

 posterior to the forearm are clothed with fine hairs, and the fur of 

 the body extends for a short distance upon the wing-membrane. 



Colour of the fur variable and different according to sex and age. 

 In the adult male the head, neck, and shoulders are generally yel- 

 lowish brown, the back and extremities dark brown with reddish 

 tips, base of the hairs yellowish white ; between the head and the 

 point of origin of the antehumeral membrane, on either side of the 

 neck, a bunch of longer and more closely set hairs of a brownish- 

 red colour with golden-red tips ; beneath greyish brown, slightly 

 washed with reddish ; throat paler. In the adult female the head, 

 neck, and shoulders are greyish brown, on the back and extremities 

 dark brown, the base of the hairs darker than in the male ; beneath, 

 paler throughout, and whitish with a reddish tinge towards the 

 centre of the body. 



Incisors like those of Carollia brevicauda ; the central upper 

 incisors unicuspidate, with oblique cusps ; the outer incisors short 

 and broad, their anterior surface concave, their summits broadly
